One of my favorite activities in South Florida is wading into cypress domes...they are just so amazing and much different than you might expect if you only stare at the tree tops from a distance. The full file has some very intricate details in the orchids, bromeliads, lichen, bark, vines, and submerged vegetation.

wow. this is truly incredible. I just was in the Everglades for a winter class and did exactly that. Just waded into the cypress swamp. Truly an amazing experience. I will have to do it again sometime.
